DIY Spike Comb

We first fell in love with Jennifer Behr‘s dinosaur headbands after seeing them on the runway at Fendi. Then, we crushed hard on this Maison Michel metal spiked hair comb spotted on Elena Perminova in Paris. Perhaps we can blame our attraction on our stegosaurus obsession (yes, this is true). Or it could simply be because these spiked hair accessories are so badass and bananas(also true). Either way, a DIY was definitely in order.

You’ll need:

Start by adding a small amount of liquid super glue to one end of the comb. Place a metal spike on top of the glue and hold it in place for at least 30 seconds. Let it dry completely before letting go.

Glue another spike to the other end of the comb. Then, using a ruler, place the rest of the spikes along the length of the comb to make sure there is enough spacing between each spike.

I love this DIY alot!
I looked everywhere in my town to find some spikes, but unsuccesful!
So I made a DIY inspired by a Belle Noel Hair Chain intead,
I just had to DIY something.. 🙂
but I’ll definitely keep this DIY in the back of my head in case I stumble across some spikes.

Megs – I had the same problem. I found Epoxy Putty (I chose a version meant for metal), and that works GREAT. It’s a tube of stuff that looks like clay – you cut a slice off (like frozen cookie dough), mash it well between your fingers to mix the inside core with the outside stuff, and then press a small ball of it between the spike and the comb. It sets QUICK, so you’ll need to hold it for only a minute or two. BTW – this method works on both the gold and the silver colored spikes from the website. Have fun!
